Troys new tank

Thanks man. Lol was dashers

thanks, thermo went down to 26 when i put it at the bottom!! Thanks

Well lol, i think i have a bit of a problem, woke up to this


Left the door open and someone knocked the DIY Co2 over....what now? Restart?

 

just do like a 80% water change to get the gunk out, then just restart the c02 and put it in a better place

 

Did a 50% water change, will do the rest when i get back. Father goes crazy when i open a tap lol

 

hehe.. its like those instruction manuals that read, "is the modem on?" "is your modem connected to the computer?" haha.. u never think its going to happen to u

with respect to the co2, do a water change.. should be fine.. thats pretty nasty if u dont as the water will start fermenting (however u spell it)

 

WOW, that flame moss grows B_E_A_UTIFULLY. I must try to source some of that stuff

 

Lol

Tank cleared up after the water change. Made a tiny mistake when topping it back up again....1st sump flood for me....oops
Never got any new plants, seems like no LPS has anything im looking for...

 

Tanks looking great.

 

Have been thinking about fish. Heres what i have in mind. Please comment.

8 Rummy Nose Tetras
8 Cardinal Tetras
6 Lemon Tetras
2 Kribs
Was thinking maybe glass catfish aswell? If so how many? Not looking for a big school of them

Hope thats not over stocking?

 

I would change the lemon tetras for Rosy tetras. They look a bit dull in most LPS'S but when
they settle in your tank they look great and are fun to watch. Makes me think of cartoon fish.

 

Hmmm They do look better:bigsmile:
Same amount,6?

 

Managed to get the other light working. Now running 4.

Did this for the time being. This might be a dumb question but why did the tubes come out that colour lol?






Some of you might think the chip wood will swell up. There is a piece of glass over the top of the tank.

 

can i ask where you got your reflectors?>

 

I got them with my 300l a few months ago. I know AK has them there by the koi/goldfish holdings

 

Written update:

Removed some plants and added more. Moved some plants around.

Going to add my 6 Rummy Nose tetras soon as well 6 Rasbora tetras.

Tank currently has 8 Buenos aires tetras, 14 different types of plants(incl grass and moss) and about 6 apple snails.

Algae is still there, lights have been reduced to from 12hours to 8hours.
No Co2 or ferts have been added just yet.
Will post one more pic on friday. After that only once a month.

Cheers

 

Good mix of fish - would leave out the Glass catfish though - they need a more subdued lighting than what your tank has....Mine did best in a tank with a heavy growth of hornwort and large floating pixy lily bulb leaves to cut the light... developed the most bueatiful copper sheen to their flanks as well...kept them in a small shoal of 8 - they never hid and was a JOY!!!

 

Yip left them out. Its a nice sight to watch them all schooling together. Im happy with wha i got. Might even the amount outbut at a later stage

 

hey, your mailbox is full..
